Technology affects worker productivity

In as much as technology positively affects global businesses, some aspects of it does adversely affect employee morale and business relationships. Technologies like software for monitoring employees at the work place has a tendency of making emplyees feel less trusted. Morale is rather boosted and there is enhanced productivity when employees are given responsibilities and are trusted by the employer to perform. Although there are good reasons for installing these monitoring softwares,monitoring systems intimidates the employee and makes him or her less confident; resaearch under the aegies of Professor Howard Besser shows that being aware that they are being monitored or recorded does decrease morale and worker productivity.
